[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thanks for letting me know! I tested it before I commented and it worked and then it didn't the second and third time. Odd.
[Android Apps and Games] Ryano89:
No problem. The link still didn't work
[Android Apps and Games] Benji1983:

It won't work if you are using XDA app. Visit the page using any browser and try. It will work.

Work very well on P9, no more crazy ads from one of my App.

Thanks a lot for develop this software!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Ahhhh, I wasn't 100 percent sure on that. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Ah thank you! We've usually had some issues with Huawei so this is excellent news!

Thanks for letting me know. Responded to you on there.

Hi, can i manage manually which apps i want to be filtered?

For example i dont want to block youtube ads because it makes revenue for creators but almost any other site i would like to block.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Go to Settings > Advanced Protection > App Management to toggle off protection for YouTube.
[Android Apps and Games] honghai2196:
Still showing ads in this app with advanced protection is ON.

Thanks for letting us know. We'll take a look.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hey guys,

A little off-topic here, but we just entered beta for AdClear for iOS. This is the full version, not the extension that's on the App Store now. If you have an Apple device, we'd appreciate the help. Y'all have played a huge part in helping us make AdClear stable and inspiring new features. We thought we'd come to you guys first. This post on our blog goes over the instructions, if you'd like to join.

That's the only post we'll make about it here, I promise. You'll see no change in attention or service from our end on Android. It's still our main focus, and we actually have some great stuff coming up on this thread's anniversary that you guys are gonna love. :good:

Thanks everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] Maramu:
Hey. So, I've installed the app from the website about 24hrs ago, to try it out. Installed everything, including certificate. Now, when I try to uninstall, and disable it from Device administrators, Settings keeps crashing. Including in safe mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Samsung S7 Edge user, Exynos version, running 6.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Try uninstall option inside the adclear app.

If that didn't worked, then remove certificate from your phone and try to uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] Maramu:
I've already tried that. With or without the certificate installed. The same thing. As soon as I enter Device Administrators and click on AdClear to disable it, Settings crashes with the Unfortunately... error.
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
is this better or adguard since my phone has yet to have root accessible (LG V20). I am stuck with 3 choices. Adguard premium, Adclear or PIA Mace?
[Android Apps and Games] Lanzus:
Not working at all (at least with Chrome and youtube) on Honor 8 with Nugat Beta (emui 5.0). Ads all over web pages and youtube videos (known issue this one right ?) Am i missing something ?

Strange part is that the app tells that have blocked "55 ads" on chrome but ... i can still see them. Final release of Emui 5.0 is expected to be released in a couple of weeks. I'll try adclear better with a stable OS installed.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Have you tried rebooting your phone? That seems like an android problem.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Have you cleared the cache in chrome and YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Of the three, we're the only one that is offered for free!
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
But i've also noticed your app out of the three uses the most RAM and drains the most battery !! :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
That didn't really answer my 3 days old question which i already given up on xda when asking most noob questions.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
What did you end up using for ad blocking? Im also having the same issue, i dont want to root my honor 6X just yet but i need the ad blocker
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
I am currently using Adguard Premium(not sure how fare it do for privacy). Although I do have Private Internet Access MACE but I find Adguard Premium to block 99% of ads in apps/browser. Catch is that it uses VPN, I prefer PIA for my VPN + Adaway*but that must be rooted). Adguard Premium uses it's own VPN and never a good thing to use 2 VPN at the same time.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
All these unrooted ad blockers use VPN, so its a matter of choosing the one with least memory/battery effects. Did you also check out DNS66 ??
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
I wasn't aware until I installed Adguard and PIA was suddenly lock out, lol. Now I do know I am trying Adguard and see how it goes, currently for what I see, PIA doesn't block ads like Adguard or even as close as Adaway(which is my favorite) but it requires root, and no dev is working to root on my current model LG H220DS :(

No I have no check DNS66, may I ask how it does against whatever you've tried? But I have to admit Adguard does block really good, it is like almost able to fight it out with Adaway but I'm not as pro as users on XDA, hence much of my noob questions.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
I still didnt try it, so you think adgaurd better than adclear or you didnt try adclear yet?
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
I haven try it as waiting for reviews compare to other app yet. way too many "ad block" these days. And so I tried the more trusted ones(at least to me). PIA/Adguard. For now Adguard as mentioned blocks literally 99% of ads I wonder how their VPN compare to PIA.
[Android Apps and Games] Lanzus:
Sure.
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Amazing i was looking for an app like this for months. Great work
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
I already tried Adguard, AdClear, and DNS66. All of them are very competent to block ads. DNS66 is lightest and fastest, but the app isn't mature yet. Adguard is the most advanced, but you have to pay for it. I'm using AdClear for now. I have been using it for weeks and I'm quite satisfied so far. It's free, well maintained, competent as ad blocker.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
What about block this ? Did you tried that ?
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
I have no reason to try another ad blocker since I am very comfortable with AdClear for now.
[Android Apps and Games] oae08:
For how long have you used it and do you notice battery drain or slower internet connection ?
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
I'm not sure since I'm not a heavy user. Never did a benchmark, never did a speed test. But I never had a problem when browsing, updating apps, uploading pictures to Telegram, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Hmm, AdClear shouldn't be performing like this. Would you mind signing up for beta, or at least sending us feedback through the app? That'll let us look at logs and see what's going on.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] blecap:
Yea I went to Adguard thread and post my demise of their app. Christ, I've deleted their app from all my devices, paid for it but i'll treat it as a donation.
[Android Apps and Games] ryuisnod:
How do you sign up for it? I'm on 3.2 through f-droid
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Follow this link!

https://betas.to/st7txDFq

You're on CM?
[Android Apps and Games] ryuisnod:
Well sort of. LinageOS now ?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Oh right, still getting used to that, lol. There are differences in performance with other OSes, but we've made a lot of strides in that department. I think this is still a bit out of the ordinary.
[Android Apps and Games] ryuisnod:
So far you apps great. Even blocking this I'd rather I didn't lol. I sign up at that link with my email but haven't received an email yet
[Android Apps and Games] stu5797:
Is there an annoying unclearable notification in the notification bar that can't be removed? I hate that key symbol in Adguard. Drives me nuts. Thanks so much to anyone that can answer this.
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
The key symbol can't be removed. It's android vpn.

If this is what you mean .
[Android Apps and Games] Heinous:
I have used this app a few times over the past several months and have tried the last several releases, so I wanted to provide some feedback since I appreciate the work you are doing on this project. I use a Sony Xperia XZ on T Mobile in the US, Android 7.0. I don't use Advanced Protection, it is unnecessary if you subscribe to Google Play Music.

Initially the app works great and blocks all web ads without noticeably affecting download speed or battery life. It's great, and almost as good as a root access solution like Adaway. However, within a day or two of using the app, my phone becomes completely unable to access any internet network. It will try to connect to known WiFi networks, and fail. It will appear to connect to LTE, but no data will be available. Rebooting doesn't work, restarting the radios doesn't work. The only thing that restores internet access is uninstalling AdClear and then rebooting.
[Android Apps and Games] stu5797:
Cu placare
[Android Apps and Games] ryuisnod:
No there isn't. And you can block these in android anyway in notification settings
[Android Apps and Games] stu5797:
Thanks but don't think you can block it on Samsung devices
[Android Apps and Games] ryuisnod:
Maybe you cant on older versions of android but I can only remember so far back ?
[Android Apps and Games] Araltd:
This is my first time using a non-root ad blocker of any kind. I've always use ad away on my rooted phones.

Ad clear seems to work fairly well (not perfect but well).

My issue is battery life.. Today it used 29% of the battery (top of the list) with Android system second and screen on time third (over 4 hours SOT).

That's a pretty big battery usage statistic. And lots of data but since I don't know how the data filtering thru the VPN is being monitored the intense data usage may have been my intense data usage? Not sure.

I'm running it on a galaxy s7 edge marsh mellow 6.0.1 with APK1 firmware on tmobile.

I have no choice but to try another solution, 29% battery usage (top of the list) can't possibly be right.

[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Need whitelist option for apps.

And the latest version drains battery faster and ram usage is very high .
[Android Apps and Games] phillymade:
In advanced settings there is an option to whitelist domain names.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
I need option for whitelisting apps not domains
[Android Apps and Games] phillymade:
I guess then the app management is not what you need either.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
App management and domain whitelist only works if advance protection is enabled.

Still there is no option to completely avoid an app from getting filtered.
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Adclear turn off if i use turbo vpn app

Is there a way to have both of them on?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Worked fine for 3 hrs after that I can't connect to internet on both wifi and data. If I turn off adclear it connection works. Why adclear is blocking connection.

I just forced stop adclear and started again , now it's working
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
That's because AdClear also uses VPN. You can only have one running at a time. So it's either run a VPN or run an adblocker using VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
What you mean is "mulţumesc", right? [emoji6]

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

Good app, would be nice to have a tile option in android 7, to switch on/off filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] Araltd:
I guess no solution for excessive battery drain?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7E
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Ok

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Thats great but are you aware of adclear privacy policy ? Adclear collects our data
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
To be honest, I don't really care. Sure if AdClear doesn't collect data it would be better, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
I think they won't collect personal data I'm i correct

Why this facebook activities are included in adclear ?
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
It used to work really good but now everytime i go to any page on chrome it doesn't block ads.

Im from Mexico if this help
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Have you tried clearing the cache in chrome?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We use the Facebook SDK for analytics, and we also collect some data from the app.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Readings from battery managing apps will not report accurate readings, but AdClear does have an impact on battery that we're making progress at cutting into.
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Yes and the ads keep showing ( this problem are with spanish ads i guess)
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
I would send us a screenshot of the ads in Feedback and we'll take a look at them.
[Android Apps and Games] Niniom:
Send

I will check the same pages to see if the ads stop showing
[Android Apps and Games] SEVENfeedback7:
We have tested this APK and it appears not to work with our devices. Could you submit a report through our app and use the Report Connection issue? By reporting this way, a log will be sent along with the report. Then we can further troubleshoot your issue. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with. Thank you for using AdClear!

[MENTION=7253675]SEVEN_AdClear[/MENTION] i am using Android Tv box, Android MM. On wifi all fine. On wifi i get low speed due to router is far away. Then I try to use lan to my android tv box, speed never drop, but adclear is not working on with lan, internet. Any suggestion?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
AdClear currently has trouble with wired connections. It's something we're working on having out sooner rather than later.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Some data means personal data ?

Like wise who knows you guys are collecting data from our bank apps.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
No, it is like the picture stated; clicks, open/close etc.. We're mostly interested in crash data and how these apps interact with VPNs, as that data is still not . All data gets aggregated as well, and you can redownload AdClear at any time to get a new random UUID number separate from your device.

And we don't collect data from bank apps. Of course, it's an exception list, but it's pretty extensive, and we will update it immediately if a user's app isn't on that list.

New AdClear UI in Beta

Hey guys! It's now time to reveal the announcement I've been hinting at :D. For months now, we've been working on an update of AdClear's UI, and it's now in Beta! With the change, I'd like to go over the the new changes as well as the reasoning behind them.

We're pleased with our new onboarding process, which is simple and sets up lists/apps from the get go. App Management was previously difficult to find in settings, leading to a lot of uninstalls because users thought we lacked the feature. This change should be fantastic for troubleshooting and identifying issues, allowing us to help you out even faster!

The main screen is completely redesigned as well. Our previous implementation of Statistics just wasn't providing much use to you guys, so we thought we'd approach it from a different angle. We'd been workshopping this idea for months, but now we have a plan to expand this system sometime in the future too.

The menu screen is also a bit different. The App Management screen will now handle the toggling of all of our features, but there are also menu options that will show a modified version of that screen (e.g. Ad Blocking will limit itself to ad blocking). This will all make sense when we integrate all our new features.

On that point, yes, this isn't just a visual overhaul. We're making some big changes that are still in progress, but AdClear's getting a firewall! And Doze Mode! AND MUCH MORE! We'll have more to share in the coming weeks! We need helping making sure everything is stable with the new UI while we wait so that the rollout can be seamless. If you haven't already, consider helping us beta test AdClear.
[Android Apps and Games] chewdaniel:
Downloaded v6 beta..... got to the Application part and when i turned on an app to block (any app) apart from the default chosen ones, AdClear just FCs.....

i could accept the default ones or enable all tho, and the wizard continues fine.....

manually setting individual apps after the initial wizard works fine

Also, under Top Blocked Apps, the Total column is misaligned :p

Nexus 5X, Android 7.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
Installed the beta, got one FC on the intro screens but otherwise it seems to be running well now. On a Verizon LG V20, android 7.0.

Not sure, has anyone requested a quick tiles button? That would be nice to turn on and off.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Quick tiles should come, but we'll probably prioritize some other stuff beforehand.

We are seeing FCs during onboarding when it gets to filters, and also through the menu when you try to access it. Something is up with the API.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Using the current beta, why are several apps listed as bypassed app in App Management?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
I'm getting forced stop on moto x play marshmallow.

And one thing that is missed on this update is, we cannot see the total ad blocked count of particular apps. Only 2 or 3 apps are displayed on the main screen as most blocked .
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thanks for letting us know. Sorry I missed your comment. We' should address most of these crashes by the next update. Can you screenshot the misalignment?

We bypass financial and medical apps by default. We should have info in there describing the bypasses soon. I thought they were already there. We also bypass apps we know that we "break" while we investigate if we can fix the problem on our end.

Those numbers should be findable under app management, but we're definitely expanding on main screen stats as well.

When's the FS happening?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
Well i didn't find any count under app management option.

Getting fc when choosing apps to be blocked from splash screen.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Should be on each individual app's details page. Tap on them individually. We're wanting to introduce more info on these.
[Android Apps and Games] alfaxavier007:
Hey I'm using Moto G3 2015. I have recently noticed the battery usage of Adclear app has been too high, even more that what the screen uses... 26% over 10% of screen usage... That's ridiculous... I mean the app has fair qualities, but it shows the usage stats as 715mah since 7 hrs of usage.... I got better usage stats without this app... So that's something you can now work on.... Still I'm happy to use the app, as I hate ads.... Warm regards
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
The new APK is up!
[Android Apps and Games] IAmLucky:
yes, it says same even if vpn is off.
[Android Apps and Games] EZ-Poop:
So how am I supposed to update this app?

And while we're at it, how am I generally supposed to update non-store apps?

Suggestion: add in-app option for update (and notification)
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
AdClear will update on its own whenever an update is posted. It may not be immediate, but it will be during the same day.
[Android Apps and Games] Zenia:
after i install your app it is did a factory reset of my phone .Thank you for spam I lost everything on my phone

Guys It is a spam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Android Apps and Games] pat99:
Nope it's not!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
That is very unfortunate, but we definitely are not spam! We have no intentions of resetting anyone's phone! Can you tell us your os version and device model? If this was caused by AdClear, we'll want to fix this immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] Zenia:
I have LG v10 Verizon version and After I install this app it is go to the lock screen and ask for pin which I dont have because I am not using a pin so after 10 time unsuccessful log in my phone did a hard reset and I lost everything including my SD card data

[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We offer our sincerest apologies that this occurred, and thank you for bringing it to our attention. The PIN is required for our certificate unless Device Administrator is turned on, and you should have been prompted about this. For future reference to our testers: if this happens, the code will be 7777. We will try to get this information out in the open until we can develop a fix for the phones this occurs on.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
I had this occur yesterday, but refreshing solved the problem. In any case, our website is here.

[Android Apps and Games] Bwangster12:
Since the latest update, my Moto X Pure running 6.0, has shown very slow internet connection on most websites and apps accessing the network. On the prior version it wasn't working at all.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
This is bad to hear. Can you give us some examples of the apps and sites you've visited?
[Android Apps and Games] datawrhsdoc:
I'm new to the app using the latest release. My phone is a Note 5 (SM-920T) using stock ROM.

Unfortunately, Advanced Protection won't stay enabled and the app does not prompt me to install a certificate.
[Android Apps and Games] Bwangster12:
Sure...

www.theknicksblog.com - just see a loading bar and never loads

www.hoopsrumors.com - same thing

espn.go.com - just loads and loads and never goes anywhere

www.google.com - seems to load fine

As soon as I disable Standard Protection the pages load fine. FYI, there is no option to do anything with Advanced Protection. It says enabled, and tapping it just says "Advanced Protection is Valid and working!"
[Android Apps and Games] IAmLucky:
Woah... And by doing hard reset with your own hands you say its adclear issue? also I believe you can unlock phone without pin if you have logged with your gmail account on that phone. Before doing hard reset you could ask for help, we would have thinked something maybe to fix. Did you try rebooting phone before attempting to unlock phone?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Is this happening on wifi, data, or both? I visit hoopsrumors a lot and haven't seen this happen before.

If you're running 6.0, the certificate will not install as we haven't migrated it to Android 6 yet. If the certificate is installed, to delete it, it will be under the User tab of your Trusted Credentials (usually located in settings).
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
I believe Note 5s use Android 6. If I'm correct in assuming that, we haven't released the certificate on that version of Android yet. They redid how credentials work, and we're currently working out a fix.
[Android Apps and Games] datawrhsdoc:
Nope. The T-Mobile variant, which I have, uses Android 5.1.1. I don't know about the other variants.
